NASA Update - 'There may be ALIENS on Europa' Scientists say Jupiter's moon has key ingredients for LIFE

SCIENTISTS have tonight said there could be life in space after discovering evidence of a huge ocean and surface water on Europa.

The space agency announced that the Hubble Telescope has discovered evidence of possible water plumes on the freezing moon, which is one of Jupiter's largest.

Excited boffins said there is also evidence of some surface water on its icy surfaces and added that they also had found evidence of a sea on another of the gas giant's smaller moons, called Enceladus.

The jaw-dropping dual announcement will raise the hopes of those who believe that alien life could exist in our solar system.

Revealing the stunning find Paul Hertz, director of the Astrophysics Division at NASA Headquarters in Washington, said: “For a long time humanity has been wondering whether there’s life beyond earth and we’re lucky to live in an era where we can address questions like that scientifically.

“On earth life is found wherever there’s energy water and nutrients, so we are interested in anywhere which shares these characteristics. Europa might be such a place.”

He added: “Today’s events increase our confidence that water and other materials from Europa’s hidden ocean might be on the surface of Europa and able for us to land and study without digging through those miles of ice.”

The view of Jupiter from Europa Europa is believed to have such an extensive ocean that great tides beneath the ice regularly bring seawater close to the surface of the moon.

Scientists proposed a "wide range of hypotheses for water on Europa and how that would actually ascend" and said there are lots of questions left unanswered for future missions.

The discovery was made by an ultra-violent camera on the Hubble Telescope which was only available to researchers after astronauts performed a daring space walk to repair it in 2009.

NASA -Boffins now want to send more missions to the icy moon At the same astonishing conference call NASA scientists also revealed some results of their survey one of Jupiter's smaller moons, Enceladus, which revealed it too could have a "global ocean".

Space enthusiasts were sent into a frenzy last week when NASA declared that it would be holding a conference to reveal ‘surprising activity’ on Europa – arguably the most well known of Jupiter’s 67 moons.

The teleconference among senior NASA officials kicked off at 7pm BST, which you can listen to live above.

When announcing the event, the space agency said: “Astronomers will present results from a unique Europa observing campaign that resulted in surprising evidence of activity that may be related to the presence of a subsurface ocean on Europa.”

However the general rule of the universe is that if there is water and oxygen – which there should be in the potential Europan ocean – then it massively increases the chances of life.

But for those hopeful of an advanced alien civilisation residing on the icy moon, you would be out of luck.

Most likely, the oceans of Europa are likely to contain microorganisms or macrofauna – organisms that are animal-like such as gastropods and insect larvae.

I was born in Portland Maine, and grew up in the Boston area. As a Physics, Psychology and Spirituality student, I have been searching for truth all my life, looking to make sense of all the insanity in this world. In that time, I have developed a holistic body of knowledge linking science, philosophy and spirituality into a single framework of ever expanding understanding. I want to share what I have with the world, becoming teacher to some and student to all others. My goal is to help myself and others become better truth seekers, and with the wisdom gained in the process, make this planet the paradise it was meant to be. I am just happy to give back to a world and universe I have received so much from.
